It is now possible to indicate that an application is not DPI-aware. In
that case, OpenTK will let the operating system handle DPI scaling. This
results in worse visuals (pixel doubling) but allows non DPI-aware
applications to continue working.
It appears that calli callsites cannot be decorated with the
“platformapi” calling convention like DllImport signatures can. This is
problematic since Windows uses stdcall by default and most other
platforms use cdecl.
There are three approaches to this issue, without going back to
delegate calls: (a) generate an unmanaged thunk that cleans up the
stack after a GL call; (b) use libFFI; (c) use cdecl *or* stdcall
everywhere and hope that the runtime can cope.
.Net 2.0 can detect and fix stdcall functions invoked through a cdecl
callsite. .Net 4.0 adds a configuration option to enable or disable
this fixup (faster p/invoke if disabled) and raise a MDA exception when
this condition is detected. (This affects x86 only.)
Mono appears to be able to cope with cdecl functions invoked through a
stdcall callsite.
More testing is required.
We should be able to use static pinvokes on platforms that do not
provide or require extensions and calli instructions on platforms with
extension APIs. This dinstiction will be implemented as a parameter in
the rewriter.
By using untyped integers instead of typed integers in the unmanaged
callsites, we allow monolinker to keep the exact set of enums that are
used by the user. Without this, we’d have to keep every single enum in
place to avoid missing type exceptions.
This does not affect the public signatures or the generated code in any
way.
This includes arrays of primitives and arrays of generics. Our code is
similar to the code generated by the Mono C# compiler for the "fixed"
construct. The .Net compiler produces slightly different code (two local
variables instead of one) - more research is required.
Default results in a managed calling convention which does not generate
unmanaged thunking code for parameter marshaling.
System.Runtime.InteropServices.CallingConvention.Winapi appears to
correspond to StdCall for calli callsites (this might be different for
pinvoke, which supports an unmanaged "platformapi" calling convention.)
Needs more testing to prove this is doing the right thing on non-Windows
platforms.
WGL was autogenerated a few years ago but never touched after that.
Since we use a tiny fraction of all available methods, it makes sense to
remove the unused ones. This reduces dll size and improves startup
times.
The rewriter will patch the body of methods marked with [AutoGenerated].
Methods that are implemented manually (e.g. various math helper
overloads) should avoid this attribute.
.Net will happily execute a calli with a generic return type, whereas
Mono will refuse to. Mono is probably doing the right thing here. Fixed
by resolving the generic return into a concrete type.
On Windows, entry points for OpenGL 1.0 and 1.1 are not exposed by
wglGetProcAddress. We fall back to LoadLibrary+GetProcAddress when
wglProcAddress fails.
OpenTK normally uses reflection to load bindings, instead of generating
huge constructors. Although reflection is faster on first load (thanks
to reduced JIT overhead), it fails to work correctly with monolinker.
This branch explores the performance of a direct binding.
When we enter the modal resize loop on Windows with ClipCursor set, we
cause a feedback loop where every resize causes the cursor to move and
every move causes a new resize. To fix this, we need to ungrab the
cursor when we are enter the modal loop.
Implementations may reuse OpenGL context handles that have been
destroyed. If a context is finalized but not Disposed, then OpenTK may
keep a reference to the old context handle, causing a crash when the
same handle is returned for a new context. To fix that, new context
handles will now replace old handles in case of a clash.
SDL_DestroyWindow must be called on the main thread. If the window is
finalized, the finalizer will push a CLOSE event to the event loop
(thread-safe) and the window will be destroyed on the main thread.
Sdl2InputDriver.Dispose() would call SDL_DelEventWatch with a different
"user_data" parameter than SDL_AdEventWatch. This caused the EventFilter
to remain registered and subsequently crash when closing and reopening a
window.
Trim regex will now correctly match GetInteger64 and other functions
ending in "64". It also uses a correct ending anchor to avoid matches
in the middle of a function name.
Scan through the list of wrappers once, instead of multiple times, in
order to find out which functions use which enums. This speeds up enum
generation tremendously.
GetBoolean, GetInteger6, GetFixedvOES and Delete* are now matched in
the convenience wrapper generator. Methods returning vectors of fixed
size (e.g. 4 ints) are no longer matched.
The lookup for function overrides and overloads now tries to work
around extension case mismatches (e.g. IBM vs Ibm). This fixes a few
specific cases of missing overrides.
It is now possible to specify multiple overloads for the same function.
This is helpful for maintaining backwards compatibility with previous
releases.
SDL does not currently support embedding into Windows Forms (this is an
upstream limitation.) To ensure that existing WinForms applications
continue to function even if SDL is installed, GLControl will now try to
initialize OpenTK with a native backend. The user can still override
this behavior using OpenTK.Toolkit.Init(ToolkitOptions), as normal.
OpenTK.Toolkit will now initialize OpenTK.Configuration and
OpenTK.Platform.Factory explicitly. It can also receive an optional
ToolkitOptions parameter to influence the OpenTK.Platform implementation
that will be chosen. Finally, it explicitly implements IDisposable to
clean up after itself.
This significantly cleans up the startup sequence on all platforms:
- X11 is not detected on non-Linux platforms unless the user explicitly
requests it
- Supports selection of platform abstractions (SDL) vs native
implementations.
- Returns correct flags on Android and iOS.
This contains a semantic change: OpenTK.Configuration will not return
correct values until OpenTK.Toolkit.Init() has been called, either
directly or indirectly (e.g. by creating a window.)
By mistake, this code would always create a desktop context. The correct
approach is to create an embedded (EGL) context and only fallback to
desktop if that doesn't work.
OpenTK 1.0 and Xamarin Android/iOS do not use strongly-typed enums for
OpenGL ES. Generate overloads with the "All" enum in order to maintain
compatibility.
Only Get*, Gen*, Delete* and New* functions get convenience overloads.
This avoids issues with functions such as Rect() that have similar
signatures but cannot use such overloads.
This restriction will be relaxed in the future.
These are convenience parameters for function receiving a size and an
array parameter, like DeleteTextures(int n, int[] ids). The generator
will now add overloads taking a single parameter, such as
DeleteTexture(int id).
CreateCLSCompliantWrappers must always change return types into
cls-compliant types. The reason is that we cannot overload on return
type alone, so we should always choose the compliant version.
Functions returning a value or array via an 'out' parameter will now get a convenience overload that returns the result via a return statement. In the case of arrays, only single-valued arrays will be supported. For example:
void GetIntegerv(enum pname, out int value)
will be get an overload of
int GetIntegerv(enum pname)
This will reduce the amount of helper overloads that must be maintained manually in GLHelpers.cs.
New WrapperTypes for convenience functions: ConvenienceReturnType to
replace an "out" parameter by a return value, and
ConvenienceArrayReturnType to replace an out array parameter by a
single return value (array count of 1 only).
